False. Pagans worship those other than God. No Catholic worships Mary. We pray to her through the power of Christ and ask for her prayers before the Lord. There is no worship involved on our part.

“We are given prayer access to the Father only, and that solely in the name of his only begotten Son, Yeshua Hamachiac.”

Christ shares His offices with His saints. That’s why He, the supreme judge, will allow saints to judge fallen angels at the end of time. (1 Cor. 6:3) Most anti-Catholics are too biblically illiterate to know that, of course.

“There is no other contact allowed, and there is no dead human that is consious of your prayers anyway; its the fallen ones that answer your contra-biblical prayers, if at all.”

The saints are alive in God. You make the same error as the Sadducees. Mark 12:24. Siding with the Sadducees is not a good sign.

The saints sleep. Paul made that very clear. When we die, we sleep until the rapture (first resurrection).

Anyone that you pray to you worship.

Christ gave no one the power to conjur up the dead.

Christ’s office is redeemer and priest, and he shares those with no one. (you can be glad of that, imagine hanging on the cross!)

The word is Christian, not anti-catholic. Catholics are anti-christian, or just plain numb.

Again, the saints sleep; they are not consious until they are changed, as Paul stated in his epistle to the Thessalonians.
